WBBL 2025 Match 20: PA-W vs AS-W head-to-head, pitch report & predicted playing XIs

The Women’s Big Bash League 2025 moves to its Match No. 20, where Perth Scorchers Women (PS-W) will take on Adelaide Strikers Women (AS-W) on Saturday, November 22 at the W.A.C.A. Ground in Perth. Both teams are looking to improve their standings as the tournament moves forward.

Till now, the Perth Scorchers Women have had an up-and-down season. They have lost three out of their five matches and are currently placed fourth on the points table. However, they defeated the Adelaide Strikers earlier this season, which will give Sophie Devine’s side confidence heading into this match. The Scorchers will aim to forget their recent losses and make a fresh start at home.

The Adelaide Strikers Women come in sixth place with only one win from four matches. Their only victory so far was against the Melbourne Renegades Women, and since then, they have found it tough to come back into form. The Strikers will definitely be aiming to put that all behind them and get their campaign back on track with a good showing in Perth.

PS-W vs AS-W: Pitch Report 

The WACA Ground pitch is renowned for its excess bounce and pace and is a brilliant surface for fast bowlers. Seamers will extract good movement off the pitch, particularly early in the match. Spinners can also be effective if they bowl slightly shorter and make use of the bounce. Batters need to get used to the pace of the wicket, after which they can score freely. Weather reports indicate bright clear skies without any signs of rain during the match.
